One thing turning people off is certainly that they're imagining they have hundreths of an inch accuracy instead of just writing 7 3/4.

The more accurate the number looks the more realer it is! That's stience, you rube!

You got something here. That is how Americans or people used to the imperial system would write this. This is satire, but not from someone that uses the imperial (inch) system regularly. Here in Germany, you don't use fractions like that like Americans do.
